Need to name a note upon creation #30

Description

@andreasn

One of the objectives of bijiben is "Quickly jot a note for later recall and use ". [1]
The later recall and use is covered by the excellent search, but the quickly jot part is currently hindered by the necessary to name a note upon creation.
It would be better if it gave the note a generic name upon creation and set that name as the first line of the note, then, if changing that line the note would be renamed accordingly.
I bounced this idea around with Allan Day and he seemed to agree.

andreasn: one thing I wanted to run through you before I file a bug about it is if it should really ask you to name the note before you create it
as it goes against "Quickly jot a note for later recall and use" a bit they way Google docs and Tomboy deals with that is that they give it a generic name, But! one that is really straight forward to change
aday: andreasn, not requiring a title to be set seems like The Right Thing To Do™
andreasn: right, and no dialog upon creation?
aday: andreasn, nod
aday: maybe it could take the title from the first line of the note?
aday: and then allow you to manually change it afterwards
andreasn: right
aday: the first line is often going to be the title anyway
